This helps them find the right audiences and we are able to show you more relevant advertising.

What do you use cookies for?
Cookies and other online tracking technologies are an important part of the internet. They make using websites much smoother and affect lots of the useful features of websites.
There are many different uses for cookies, but for within our site, they fall into the following groups:
Cookies that are needed to provide the service you have asked for (Essential / Strictly Necessary)
Some cookies are essential so you can move around our websites and use their features. Without the use of these cookies parts of our websites would not function. For example:

when you add something to the online shopping basket, cookies make sure it is still there when you get to the checkout.
Cookies that collect information about your choices and preferences (Functional / Preference)
These cookies collect information about your choices and preferences, and allow us to remember things like:
remembering a location you have provided us with so we can show you relevant content to where you are and to provide local weather forecasts;
if you have filled in a survey, so you are not asked to do it again; and
showing “related article” links that are relevant to the page you are looking at.
Cookies used to understand how people use our products and services (Analytics)
We use analytics cookies to gather information about what pages, links and sections of our apps are popular and which ones do not get used so much to help us keep our site relevant and up to date.
